Emacs - tab-completion of local Python variables

Question

Is there a good emacs mode that will allow tab-completion of local python variables? I set up ipython.el but it will only tab-complete things in the scope of the interpreter

Answer 1

The blog post describing kind of tab completion you want can be found at Python code completion in Emacs. There is a bit of installing packages, pymacs, AutoComplete, rope, ropemacs, rope mode, yasnippet and setting up, but in the end I hope it will pay off.
